Most of the dragged names denied allegations.Mayors in Iloilo who was described by the tough-talking President as the most “shabulized” are in the country, denied President Rodrigo Duterte's allegation that they are involved in the illegal drug trade.Iloilo City Mayor Jed Mabilog said it is "very unfortunate and disconcerting" that his name was included in the long list of "narco-politicians" tagged by Duterte. "I can categorically say that I am not involved in the protection, trade and use of illegal drugs," he said at a press conference. I am willing to open myself for any investigation, cooperate and submit myself to any court of law," he said in a report.On the other hand, Mayor Sigfredo Betita of Carles, Iloilo said he is not disturbed at all about his inclusion in Duterte's list as he claims to be clean and that the President was just fed by wrong information.In a report, he denied any involvement in illegal drugs and claimed that the allegation was politically motivated. But he also admitted that alleged drug lord Melvin "Boyet" Odicta, Sr. is his distant relative. AJRSP
